Adhesive raw materials

We innovate to make your adhesives stick. With our dispersions, resins and additives as well as technical expertise, we support customers in developing environmentally friendly high performance adhesives.

Our portfolio of acrylic emulsion polymers, styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) emulsion polymers, and ultraviolet (UV) curable acrylic hot melt polymers can be used to produce high performance labels, tapes and graphic arts in an environmentally and socially responsible manner. 

From solvent free to water-based emulsions, our products are becoming more sustainable while still offering high performance results in many adhesive applications. In addition to base dispersions, we also offer fully formulated “coater-ready” dispersions to meet customer specifications.

Applications

Water based emulsions and UV acrylic hotmelts for adhesive applications.
Paper labels in our portfolio provide extensive flexibility encompassing cold temperature, general purpose, recyclable, permanent, and removable adhesive options.
Filmic labels offer excellent clarity, sustainability, and water whitening resistance, while also enabling dimensional stability, low VOC, smoothness, anchorage to low surface energy (LSE) substrates, chemical and moisture resistance, and wettability.
